Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee, Rhone, France 2012 500ml Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret clove spice and apple mintOne of my favorite wines, the 2012 Chteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Rserve is a classic. Beautiful on the nose, with notions of ground pepper, wild herbs, minerality and smoked plum and dark fruit, its medium to full bodied, nicely concentrated and has plenty of tannin that comes through on the finish. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
